My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

Fired Up
The Aberdeen music event FIRED UP will feature Bucksburn and District Pipe Band and Boghall and Bathgate Caledonia Pipe Band in an end of season concert on the 9th October 2010 at the Aberdeen Music Hall.
This Aberdeen concert, which is one of the largest undertakings Bucksburn and District Pipe Band has ever undertaken, will go down in the North East of Scotland�s Pipe Band History as one of the greatest events to take place there for over 20 years. Boghall and Bathgate Caledonia Pipe Band are delighted to have been asked to play at such an event and will take with them a 40 strong Band to entertain the audience in Aberdeen. This Aberdeen concert event hopes to attract a sell-out crowd with Boghall and Bathgate being the main attraction with performances from Bucksburn�s youth and senior Bands where the experience and talents of Pipe Major Robert Stewart and Leading Drummer Scott Niven will command from the front.
Gus McAskill, Bucksburn Band President, says
It�s great to have such an event like this here in Aberdeen. To secure a top class Grade one Band of the calibre of Boghall and Bathgate Caledonia is wonderful, not only for Bucksburn Pipe Band, but for the whole of the North East. Boghall and Bathgate are a fantastic Band with very talented players and are guided by 2 of the best in the business, Pipe Major Ross Walker and Leading Drummer Gordon Brown.
There is a huge buzz in the Bucksburn Band and the North East of Scotland about this. It is a venture, now started, that must continue and it is one that will, in turn, help strengthen the standards of the North East Pipe Bands. The whole idea of the concert is to heighten the interest and excitement within the North East Pipe Band world and to hopefully encourage youngsters to take up piping or drumming. If one youngster looks and likes what is on offer and, not only dreams about being a piper or drummer, but achieves Grade One standard or becomes a top solo player, then we have achieved our goal.
Malcolm Swan, President of Boghall and Bathgate Caledonia adds
We are delighted and honoured to be invited to what promises to be a cracking night of piping and drumming in the Aberdeen Music Hall. This celebration of everything that is good about the presentation of pipe band music across the generations and grades is something that is close to our hearts here at Boghall. We are looking forward very much to this venture with Bucksburn and both organisations promise to lay on an evening of immense entertainment and enjoyment for the performers and audience alike.

BIFOLK is a modern, slavic-celtic, folk-rock band. Their musical style is a result of the musicians� creative synthesis of different European musical traditions. They perform many loose renditions of Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian folk songs, along with some even looser variations on medieval European music compositions and classic rock songs.
The Belarusian band formed in 2001 by musicians Ignat Gerdecki (flute, vistle, Belarusian bag-pipe and vocals) & Artsiom Fred Kuzmichiov (guitar). The music of BIFOLK, in spite of being a combination of various genres, is well crafted and artistically unique. Their songs are full of imagery and have emotionally charged melodic patterns making poetic lyrics, understandable to people from all walks of life. BIFOLK's repertoire is still growing and expanding not only due to new songs being written by the band members, but also by giving traditional folk songs a new interpretation.
